during my first term i was twice elected vice-chair by my colleagues and have been strong partnerships with the chair, with our members, and with city staff to drive reforms that advance our oversight mission. i'd like to briefly illustrate some of those key achievements. first i lead the committee's first ever issuance of contracts for bond oversight using the $1 million in set-aside funds intendved for this purpose. we are now benchmarking best practices for community engagement and design reviews of capital projects to recommend improvements so that the challenges encountered with the bayview and north beach librarieses and lafayette parks and laguna honda hospital are not repeated. second, i called for increased attention to the [speaker not understood] program leading the public hearings and strength and focus by the controller's office and [speaker not understood] to resolve complaints on a timely basis especially those claiming retaliation for protected activities. third, committee members are now assigned adds liaisons to specific programs to develop subject matter expertise. i
